Lifestyle is a Beneteau Oceanis 45 that is highly sought after around the world. She, along with her sisterships, features a bright and spacious interior that the modern sailor desires. In the first year of production, the Oceanis 45 was appointed the ‘European Sailboat of the Year’ award in the family cruiser category. Lifestyle features a standard height rig with in mast furling, standard 7-foot draft and hard chines above the waterline make for a generous beam of nearly 15-feet. The mainsheet arch, three power winches and halyards that run aft to the cockpit make shorthanded sailing a breeze. The 280 watt solar panel is advantageous for cruising in remote areas and keeping the batteries topped up. For after sailing activities, the transom lowers by the push of a button into a glorious swim platform that will leave the whole anchorage jealous. Lifestyle is ready to be made into your new dream boat!

Accommodations:
The interior of Lifestyle is finished in satin light oak and taupe panels, beautifully complimented by white bulkheads, woodpecker Ultraleather upholstery and a wood cabin sole. Her spacious three stateroom, two head layout (each with separate shower stall) comfortably accommodates six.
Beginning forward, the spacious master stateroom is truly a fantastic space, featuring a walkaround island berth and 6’ 2” of headroom. The bunk is 6’ 9” long. Ample storage is available in hanging lockers and drawers around the cabin. Hull side windows provide a view and a bright feel to compliment the oak interior.
The ensuite master head is equipped with an electric toilet. A large counter runs along the aft side of the compartment with sink and mirror. A separate shower stall is located inboard, separated by an acrylic door.
The salon arrangement feels much larger than her 45 feet, with a chart table/settee space to port and dining table to starboard. The satin light oak and white bulkheads with large windows and numerous hatches give a bright and modern feeling with 6’ 6” of headroom. Blinds on the windows are hidden behind a valance. To starboard, the U-shaped settee surrounds an oak dining table, with a settee inboard on the centerline. This layout features a salon conversion allowing the table to be set up as an additional berth. There is an open locker and shelves outboard to starboard. The electrical distribution panel, battery monitors and tank gauges are cleverly hidden behind a slider. To port, a sliding chart table allows the settee space to be used either as a nav station with chairs on either side or a double love seat. There is top loading storage outboard and the B&G VHF radio and a chart spotlight.
Lifestyle’s galley is to port in the salon and very much feels a part of the salon space. The counter is L-shaped, with fiddles surrounding the gray laminate counter to keep items in place while under way. The forward end is an open counter space with a top loading freezer and front-loading fridge below. Aft is the gimballed two-burner stove and oven, followed by a two-bin sink. There is ample storage below the counters, in a shelf outboard along the hull side and generous lockers stretching along the counter above. Storage for wine bottles is located beneath the companionway and in a locker across from the galley aft of the dinette.
The starboard guest stateroom is configured with a generously sized quarter berth with a berth 6’ 9” long. A hull side window adds visibility to the outside and a lot of light to the space. There is storage in a hanging locker and a shelf with additional lockers. A door forward allows ensuite access to the aft head.
The aft head is well positioned in the salon adjacent to the companionway for day use while underway and also as a space to remove wet foul weather gear before settling down in the salon. The electric toiled faces inboard, with a counter and sink aft. A large separate shower stall is separated by an acrylic door.
The port aft stateroom is arranged similarly to the starboard cabin with a quarter berth and window in the hull. A shelf runs along the side of the hull and there is a hanging locker forward.
A gently sloping companionway with five steps leads from the salon to the cockpit.

Deck and hull
Lifestyle is finished with a fresh white gel coat on her hull with the Beneteau cove stripe and single black boot stripe at the waterline.
Beginning forward, there is an anchor locker with recessed anchor windlass. Aft of this locker is a large deck accessed sail locker that is perfect for storing flying sails and all the other toys that come along with a cruising boat. Double lifelines surround the deck with boarding gates to port and starboard and a Flexiteak toe rail. The raised coach roof cabin top is cleanly laid out with simple stainless handholds, recessed deck hatches and line organizers running all halyards aft to the cockpit. The mainsail is sheeted to an arch that also supports the beautifully constructed canvas dodger. Her spacious cockpit is T-shaped with twin wheels and open access to the stern. A drop leaf table is mounted on centerline forward. Her rigging is very simple, with control lines led aft to cabin top winches, a powered model to port that controls the mainsail furling and mainsheet. Aft, two speed electric primary winches assist with headsail sheets. There are shallow cockpit seat lockers and lockers beneath the sole aft.
